These are the events written down in my diary. I will not necessarily be at the events myself

Not to mention where members of the EAFF will be this Saturday.

Audley End Event

Kelmarsh Hall is definitely in Northants and the event is part of EH's big Festival of History.

Kelmarsh Hall

It looks more accessible than previous years' events (no windy narrow country lanes to queue down!) but I guess anybody else travelling on the A14 won't be too chuffed!

Don't think I'll bother - Kelmarsh Hall boasts no shop!

It is a couple of years or more since EAFF visited Flag Fen though - that event sounds interesting.

Yes it should be fun.

Admission prices are on the Flag Fen website

There are also events this weekend at Dinefowr Park and Dolaucothi here in Carmarthenshire.

I expect Mr Pryor will be book signing ?

.

I must go to this one!!!!!! either on Sat or Sun

Here's a link for the events list of the Fairfax Battalia - English Civil War and 17th Century historical interpretation.

Based on last years show I would suggest that the Sunday is the better day for Chester as there is a race meet on the Saturday.

Cheers Brochfael

I was looking at that the Chester one too but for me it would have to be Sunday anyway.

See you all on Sunday then

Anyone who wants to find me need only look for the jewellery trader in the vicus by the fort gates.

The annual Roman living history weekend at Dolaucothi Roman Gold mine is happening this weekend

On show will probably be a Roman Army surgeon with the tools of his trade. Roman cookery but probably not any soldiers.

The long haired trader and metalworker from last year will not be there as the management forgot to book him!

Better get the park and ride in then to stop me buying too much


PS. When do the public get let in ?

Rang Chester racecourse today - know the number off by heart due to work ... they are opening to the public at 11.30 on Sunday at the cost of £5
